In this episode, I break down the 6 Core Principles of Leadership that have helped me grow teams, lead a family, and scale businesses. Whether you're leading at home or in business, this episode lays out what it takes to actually be a leader people want to follow.

I’ve led as a military officer, built multiple companies, and been married with kids for 15+ years—this is the leadership playbook I rely on every day.

💡 Core Leadership Principles:

Listen First: If you’re doing all the talking, you’re doing it wrong. Listening earns trust and reveals the real problems.
Have the Plan: Your people don’t need perfection—they need direction. Step up and provide clarity.
Be Humble: Leadership isn’t about being the smartest. It's about serving others and admitting what you don’t know.
Make Decisions: Indecision kills momentum. Make the call and execute—even if it’s not perfect.
Communicate the Why: People need to understand the purpose behind the work. Without it, there’s no buy-in.
Build Relationships: Trust, care, and respect form the foundation of real leadership—at home and at work.
